- Summary:
- It's a matter of knowing winter. Snowbird travels south, seeks warmth, and begins waiting. 'The Snowbird Poems', is a brilliant flight of departure. Beached where he watches a drowning horizon, teased by romance, Snowbird lets his responses become a message in a bottle to the lost and for the found. Appearing at first wearing bifocals and drinking from a fake coconut, Snowbird goes on to retrieve the footprint of story from the ocean of memory.
